I can't imagine using autocomplete or even an IDE. I remember when I first started I was writing C++ on Windows in Visual C++. My learning only accelerated once I moved off Windows and stopped using autocomplete. Once I started working on Linux and in vim, I didn't even consider looking back. I like to think I'm a minimalist when it comes to my tools, so obviously my experiences and insights are very different from someone working in an IDE. I prefer the command line to a gui any day.
